What a week!
I think I may be able to say that last week I was somewhat productive to the extend that I wanted to push myself to be.
I purposely spent a little time on Monday to seriously set one-week schedule, including my yoga classes and after office hour activities. And I'm somewhat proud to say that I managed to follow through it - though not 100% yet.
Nevertheless I couldn't say that my week was great either, I got a call from Harvey Norman telling me that there is a delay in the ThinkPad Yoga shipment for probably 4 weeks and they asked me to come to their store to arrange how to proceed with this new information. And this news was really upsetting. They sold me a product that doesn't match what's stated in the brochure which then I had to make a trip to their store to return it with them promising that the new shipment (in 1-2 weeks) would match the specification in the brochure, and then now I had to make another trip to their store to settle this matter.
I was officially pissed.
I quickly did my research and set my eyes on Microsoft Surface Pro 3, and after a quick calculation, I would have to top up almost 200 dollars. Of course I am not going to pay more money after that much of inconvenience they have caused. I was totally calm when I told the Harvey Norman guy that no, I refused to pay more than I already had. I did not smile at all and I look him straight in the eye that I wanted Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with its keyboard and I would not top-up anything for it. The guy said that he could only give me 40% discount for the keyboard and they are losing money already, but you know what, I told him no, this problem is caused by you, why would I pay more money for some mistake that you people did.
At last, my persistence was not for nothing, the guy went to see his manager and then when he came back he said alright, I would not need to top up, and they even are going to do delivery right to my doorstep. Although I appreciate their intention, but I would not hold my breath. I just take it as it is now and we shall see how it will turn out in the end, shall we?
On a brighter and a more fun note, after weeks, I finally managed to have a quick catch up with my gals - Social Bee and Sweety Cat! Although I'm now a little worried about Sweety Cat's office life - there is one lady in her office that seems to be picking on her in a very childish and so mean-girl way that in my opinion only works during high school years. Anyway, seeing how that lady is not smart enough to be bitchy in a grown up way, I think Sweety Cat would be fine as long as she can slap on a smile and be smarter in responding her childish bitchiness.
As for this week, again I've set up the schedule for the whole week and I'm planning to follow them through.
Wish me luck!
PS: I start to bring lunch from home again, I also hope this will last long, for my health sake :)
